The Deerfield carbine or Model 99/44 is a .44 Magnum semi-automatic rifle produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. It uses a rotating-bolt short-stroke gas piston.[2] It was introduced in 2000Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag The Deerfield is a brand new design and has little in common with the Model 44. While the Model 44 featured a solid-topped receiver, the modern Deerfield carbine has an open-top design more resembling the M1 carbine,[3] which is stronger and easier to make.[4] The Deerfield also uses a rotary magazine similar to that used on Ruger's .22 LR 10/22 rifle,[3] whereas the Model 44 was fed via a fixed 4-shot tubular magazine.[5]
